Back at ACOR after the Wadi Rum trip, I resumed my routine over the following weeks of working on the report of the Madaba Archaeological Park excavations of 1992-1993. Among other things, I processed some modern glass finds from the excavations, which curiously included a bottle from Bad Salzbrunn, a spa now in Poland that was part of Germany before 1945.
I also prepared a proposal to conduct a further survey of Dutch and British colonial buildings in Bhimunipatnam, India in February 2013. I contacted the American Institute of Indian Studies in Delhi about proper procedures for getting permission from the Archaeological Survey of India and a research visa, only to discover that I had missed a significant deadline for applications, so whether we will get a permit is questionable.
Now that Ramadan was over, the usual public lectures and events resumed, which included a reception on September 20 at the German Institute and a lecture on October 1 at the British Institute by the director Carol Palmer about Lucjan Turkowski, a Polish ethnographer stationed in Palestine during the Second World War who made observations about Palestinian then.
